Bacon Egg Nog

17Dec

This week is porkapcolypse! We got our beautiful berkshire hog and are eating so much pork that I feel obliged to share several new pork recipes with you. To kick of porkapalooza, I thought I would start with everyone’s 3 favorite things, bacon, booze, and dessert.

This is what happiness looks like

For the fabulous bacon egg nog protein shake you will need:

6 slices of bacon

One can of coconut milk

5 pastured egg yolks

A tablespoon of maple syrup (optional)

A scoop of vanilla protein powder (also optional, but it gives the drink very good texture)

A sprinkle of cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. That’s right, a sprinkle, no need to dirty up any spoons

Start by cooking up your bacon and set it aside to cool, while you separate your eggs. Add your ingredients to a blender and let them mix for a minute before slowly pouring in some of your hot bacon grease. Let the mixture emulsify while you clean up and you are done. I served this in small whiskey glasses(add actual whiskey for happy-pork-fun-time) garnished with a sprig of bacon. It was about 4 small servings, and yes I cooked extra bacon on purpose for snacking.
